BG have been fined 2.5 million pounds for failling to deal with customer complaints, they have also started selling and installing renewable energy systems to customers, therefore must be MCS accredited, So my question is, are they a fit company to hold the MCS accreditation be assured by REAL if they have recently been found guilty and fined for failling to deal with customer complaints.

In my opinion no they are not, what are your thoughts, Discuss
 
Totally agree, the thing with BG is that they "bought" their MCS by buying out a small Renewables firm down south (or so I heard) Cool Planet or something like that. Personally I would like to see a suspension of their MCS until a thorough investigation can be carried out as they have been fined for effectively being a Rogue trader. But I'm vindictive like that! lol:reddevil:
 
they're a major corporation so different rules apply, they probably dont even pay tax the dogs
 
Are the complaints being leveled at the gas suplier BG or Centrica? They're two totally different companies under the one umberella. least they were when I worked for them! Anyhoo's they're a business out to make money like any other and can do whatever they wish. IMHO
 
one law for them another for us , hopefully for not much longer , I suspect engineers are forced to cut corners to make up their wages which is not right
 
Just found out they were fined on July 1 £1m for misreporting the amount of electricity supplied under the Government's Renewables Obligation.


British gas customers are welcome to email the Managing director of British Gas with their concerns
